    Google Reveals New Search Formula

    http://www.bbspot.com/News/2004/07/g...h_results.html

    Key issues from the article:


    Items that will improve search rankings in the new formula include:
    • Number of semi-colons on the page.
    • Use of the term 'fluffy' in the domain.
    • Heavier weighting for the .name top-level domain.
    • Using seventeen empty font tags before the first hyperlink.

    Li also mentioned some of the criteria that could get a site banned from Google's search results. Some of these items include:
    • Claiming to have nude pictures of Britney Spears just to get page views.
    • Having the sequence of letters "rtg" alone or within a word more than once on a page.
    • Directly linking to Google search results without prior written consent from Google.
    • Using the term 'blog' as a verb on any page within a site.

    Some people have too much time though

    Having said that, I bet they get a bunch of links...
